A Splendid Private Lecture
to Men !
Powerful Words Never To Be
Forgotten, \
Chickering Hall, New York CMy, Has a
Great Audience.
Every Word Went Straight to the Heart.
A Talk that was of a Great and Priceless
Value.
[Special from New York City.]
NEW YORK CITY, Oct. 23.—Men want
to be strong. They want good health,
sound bodies, vigorous constitutions.
They were told just how to obtain all
these last evening, ;in that great private
lecture to men, given by the noted special­ist,
Dr. Greene, of 35 West 14th street,
New York City, in Chickering haU, New
York City. People have learned that
when this noted physician gives a lecture,
they will hear somethingJ they want to
know, something th&t wiU greatly benefit
them.
"The doctor has devoted his whole life
to the study of chronic and nervous dis­eases.
His treatment is so different and
his success so much greater than that of
any other physician, that his name and
the wonderful cures he has made, and is
making every day, are known in every
household in the land. A man who can
rise to such a conception of the action of
medicines on the human system, has in­deed
weU earned the title of the greatest
living specialist.
His private lecture to men is one of the
most important and valuable which he
gives, inasmuch as it deals with that large
class of nervous, weak men, which is so
fearfully common. For what is more
terrible than a physicaUy and mentally
weak man, with weak nerves, whose
energy and ambition are gone. And
yet this great country is filled with
just such men, whose- hopes
have been blighted, ambitions para­lyzed,
and whose Uves have proved fail­ures
because of weakened nerves and ex­hausted
strength.
Thousands of young men of the bright­est
inteUect, with unlimited brain power,
and of the most splendid prospects, notice
that they are not making the most of
their abilities, that their power to work
is falling short, and that they are
NOT MAKING THAT SUCCESS
for which they had reason to hope. Thou­sands
of middle-aged men of undoubted
ability, of indomitable perseverance and
of the highest mental attainments have
seen their power, little by little, go from
them until they have been forced to aban­don
their lofty ambitions and give up in
despair. Like the fine sands of an'liour-glass
trickling through a minute opening,
so their power, vigor and ambition un­consciously
fade away, leaving them
weak, enervated arid unable to longer
pifrinfaun th«ir position in the business
weaken still more the already exhausted
nerves, and make the patient worse than
before taking them. Common sense wiU
tell all thinking persons that harmless
vegetable remedies which give renewed
strength and vigor, are what are required
in this, as well as all chronic and nervous
diseases.
Thousands of unhappy sufferers alloyer
the land are constantly being cured bjr
his wonderful remedies. : If you beloAg
to this class, do not delay another mo­ment,
but consult Dr. Greene, take these
remedies yourself and get well. For you
wiU be cured just so surely as you take
them. His office is at 35 West 14th street,
New York city, where he consults with
all, free of charge.
Another great blessing to these patient*
is the doctor's system of letter correspond
ence. This enables men all over the
United States, suffering from this disease,
to consult him without leaving their
homes, and absolutely free of charge.
Write him a letter stating how you feel,
and he will answer it, describing your
complaint thoroughly, telling what to do
to be cured, and the cost of th6 necessary
medicines. :
This system of treatment through letter
correspondence has proved of incalculable
importance, as thousands of men are
being cured by it who could never afford
to come to the city, but who, by having
the medicines sent them, at the low prices
which the doctor always charges, are en­abled
to be perfectly and permanently
cured. Write him at once, if you cannot
visit him at the office, 35 West 14th street,
New York city, and we promise you a
speedy and permanent restoration to
sound and vigorous health.
BEFORE SLEEPING.
Now Is the dead of night, and I rauit sleep,
Bat flrstj toy soul, if thou dost aught ncaiU
Wherein thou hast done ill, I bid thee weep
And pray God's tender meroy on thee fall.
Purge thyself clean of whatso bitter hate
Thou hast for them that wrong thee; sink
thy pride.
Nor deem thoxntandest in a higher state
Than those whom Odd thy happier chance
denied.
Be all for heaven; think life draws near the
close;
Give to'repentance thy last conscious breath;
For more and more this mortal wiakhessgrows
That pledges t;hee to take the form of death
And sleep awhile. What if in dreams the door
Of life should shut, and thou return no morel

like nothing in the world but a sonoie

"Put your hand—closed so?—through

some difficulty, for the hole was un­evenly

Samuel Longfellow was as true a poet
as his more famous brother. His range
was narrow, but his work in it was of a
noble order. No finer hymns have been
written by any American than some of
those by Samuel Longfellow. His biog­raphy
and the collection of his sermons
and essays which have just been pub­lished
have awakened a new and deep in­terest
in him on the part of the general
public. In the October number of the
NEW ENGLAND MAGAZINE there is an
article on the poet-preacher by Oscar
Fay Adams, which is a tender tribute,
and which emphasizes certain features of
Mr. Longfellow's genius and character
which are not so well brought out in the
recent biography. There is a fine portrait
with the article, and picture of the
memorial tablet in the Second Unitarian
church in Brooklyn. Warren F. Kellogg,

condition of nervous and pihysictil. weak-:
ness, but the most destructive of all are
those insidious and hidden sources which
are so prevalent iii this age. _
How does thif terrible afQiotion com­mence?
Nervousness, a growing desire to be
alone, inability to fix the mind for any
length of time, weakness, dull head, dim­ness
of vision, impaired memory, gloom
and depression of mind, headiache and
dizziness. There is flushing of the face
on the least excitement, a feeling of cow­ardice,
unsteadiness of nerves, sleepless­ness,
trembling, loss of confidence; the
thoughts wander, and the person wakes
in the morning tired ancLunrefreshed, and
with a bad taste in the mouth.
There is restlessness, trembling of the
voice on excitement, irritability, a dull,
cloudy sensation, often attended by dis­agreeable
feelings in the head and eyes,!
and the mind is easily confused. At times
there is .
WEAKNESS AND PAIN - " ^ ^ "^1
in the back and palpitation of the heart.
There is a lack of force, energy and

that the whole nervous system is becom­ing

And \«hat is the cure for this terrible
calamity? What can they do to get well?
There is no man living who has done
so much for this large class of patiehts as
Dr. Greene, nor is there any branch of
his practice in which this specialist has
obtained such marvelous results. Seeing
in his; large practice the tftrible results
of this disease, and knowing the inability
of other physicians, to oppe with it, and
indeed .the failure of ifiostof them to
recognize such a complaint, the doctor
determined to make this department a
Bpecial study. He searched the labora­tories
of the world, devoting years of
study and'enormous sums of money to

" Why doth this man thus speak bias­es?
Who can forgive -sins but God
only?" If they had not been so hardened
gainst Him, they might have said to His
glory and to their soul's good, "This must
befGod, for only God can forgive sins."
They might have thought of Isa xliii, 25,
ancl said, "This must be the Lord God of
the holy prophets, even our Messiah."
. 8. 4'And immediately, when Jesus per­ceived
in His Spirit that they so reasoned
within themselves, He said unto them,
Why reason. ye these things in your
hearts?" The fact that He couldread their
thoughts and tell them what was passing
in their1 minds should have convinced them
;that He was none other than the ohie who
said long before, "I know the things that
come into your mind, every one of them"
(Ezek. adi 5), even the great searcher of
zeins and hearts (I Chron. xxviii, 0; Jer.
xvii, 10). •*. .
9. *'Whether is it easier to say to the sick
of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee, or to
say, Ariso and take up thy bed and walk."
The last would seem to many to be the
greatest, for bodily infirmity is to many a
;-more-grievous thing than tmforgiven sin.
What numbers there are who would give
idl they have for health of -body who are
not at all concerned about the forgiveness
of sinsl They are blind and dead to spir­itual
things and to the unseen and eter­nal
realities of heaven and hell.
10. "But that ye may know that the
Son of man hath power on earth to forgive
tins (He saith to the sick of the palsy)."
Here is the truth to be proclaimed around
the world,'" The Son of man hath power
onearth to forgive sins." ' He recelveth
sinners; He casts out none who oometo
Him; He blots out all sin andwUl re-member
it no more. The blood of Jesus
Christ cleanseth frofn all sin (Luke xv, 3;
John vl, 87; Isa. xliii, 25; John i, 7).

condition of nervous and pihysictil. weak-:
ness, but the most destructive of all are
those insidious and hidden sources which
are so prevalent iii this age. _
How does thif terrible afQiotion com­mence?
Nervousness, a growing desire to be
alone, inability to fix the mind for any
length of time, weakness, dull head, dim­ness
of vision, impaired memory, gloom
and depression of mind, headiache and
dizziness. There is flushing of the face
on the least excitement, a feeling of cow­ardice,
unsteadiness of nerves, sleepless­ness,
trembling, loss of confidence; the
thoughts wander, and the person wakes
in the morning tired ancLunrefreshed, and
with a bad taste in the mouth.
There is restlessness, trembling of the
voice on excitement, irritability, a dull,
cloudy sensation, often attended by dis­agreeable
feelings in the head and eyes,!
and the mind is easily confused. At times
there is .
WEAKNESS AND PAIN - " ^ ^ "^1
in the back and palpitation of the heart.
There is a lack of force, energy and
power and the ambition is gone.
These symptoms ihean that the person
is suffering from nervous debility, and
that the whole nervous system is becom­ing
exhausted and enfeebled. The con­sequences
of this condition are most fear­ful

disease.
And \«hat is the cure for this terrible
calamity? What can they do to get well?
There is no man living who has done
so much for this large class of patiehts as
Dr. Greene, nor is there any branch of
his practice in which this specialist has
obtained such marvelous results. Seeing
in his; large practice the tftrible results
of this disease, and knowing the inability
of other physicians, to oppe with it, and
indeed .the failure of ifiostof them to
recognize such a complaint, the doctor
determined to make this department a
Bpecial study. He searched the labora­tories
of the world, devoting years of
study and'enormous sums of money to
learn positively the ^ction of every knofrn
His success has £^xceeded his great­est
expectations. The^combination of
harmless-v^etable remedies he Uas suc­ceeded
• in bringing tc^tiiei :«hd com­pounding
for this compuont is most won*

this terrible physical and -nervous weak­ness
in men, so poten^n their healing

results, that there isnocase which can­not

glancing down at my ungloved
